Moving Db's From One Drive To Another...
Feb 22, 2008
I currently have about 4 databases on our SAN located in one of the drives. These databases are going to expand massively and I want o seperate 1 onto seperate drives located on the SAN. I figured using SQL Server Management Studio I could complete this with an easy "Detach / Attach" operation. When I go to attach the files back into SQL, it doesn't read any other drive other than the current drive all of the databases are located on.
Is there a way to do this?

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick

Hello All,
Can anyone be so kind as to turn me on to a script to move a database from spilt drives C: and D: to just drive D:. (we have one of those Dell's that comes with C/D partitions so we split the .dta files with a limit on the primary file, but the damn C: drive still ran low on disk space and now we can't install Win 2003 SP2 on it!)
thanks in advance
Bill

We installed MS SQL Server to our drive D drive E was the CDROM Drive.We wanted to move the CDROM drive to drive D and the hard drive to driveE. We change that around and corrected the registry entries -repointing everything to drive E instead of D. SQL Server however willnot start it says it cannot find the databases. Where is thisinformation stored. How can I go about changing it?~Todd

Hello all -
I have TFS installed on one machine, and the SQL Server database on another. I made the unfortunate mistake of installing SQL Server to the OS drive (C : ), so the TFS database is writing to this drive. How can I switch this to write to another drive (e.g. E:)?
thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to move the transaction logs of my databases to a different drive (for fault tolerance). I can create a second transaction log file for each database via Enterprise Manager but I have 2 questions:
1) If two transaction log files exist for a database which one does it use ?
2) How do I force SQL to use the new transaction log file ? (so I can delete old)
Thanks,
Tim

Howdy y'all! :)
I have been instructed to move a large database we have on one of our servers off the current drive (local RAID-5 driveset in the server) to a EMC "drive" (logical drive, off-server).
I know one option is to back up the database, delete the database, re-create the db using the new drive for data/log files, then restore the database.
However, I was wondering if it would be better to just detach the DB, move the data/log files, then reattach to them?
Is it half-doz of one, and 6 of the other?
How should I go about this dastardly deed?
Off to poke around in BOL, but thought I would post first in case it's an incredibly easy answer for y'all
Thanks!

I am trying to find out if it is possible to move indexes to a separate filegroup/disk drive during database restore. I am trying this to see if it improves performance. Also if I cannot move the indexes during restore, how would I move them afterwards to a different filegroup/disk drive? Thanks in advance for all the help.

I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

Hello all ...
is there a standard procedure or document that explains how to:
Expand tempdb onto a faster drive ... making it larger
then ...
Remove the small portion of tempdb from my c: drive to reduce contention?
Thanks!

I have a database [CarlosDB] that currently has it's .MDF on E: and I need to move the x2 .NDF data files off C: to E:data using a single T-SQL statement:
Code:
database_id file_id db_name disk_path status size read_only
----------- ----------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 1 CarlosDB E:dataCarlosDB.mdf ONLINE 384 0
7 2 CarlosDB_log L:logsCarlosDB_log.ldf ONLINE 128 0
7 3 CarlosDB_2 C:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf ONLINE 128 0
7 4 CarlosDB_3 C:sqlCarlosDB_3.ndf ONLINE 128 0
(4 row(s) affected)
Looking at the file configuration above, what would be the most logical way as a DBA / SQL Server 2014 Std to move the NDF files to live w/ the MDF file using:
Code:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copy c:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf e:dataCarlosDB_2/ndf'...
but cleanly using a single T-SQL statement? properly formatting a single T-SQL query to use the xp_cmdshell system stored procedure.

We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?

How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

Server: SQL 2008 R2
1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

I am installing the X86 Executable version of SQL Server. I copied it to my desktop and clicked RUN. It extracts the files and then the Install Wizard tells me there is not enough space on the C Drive to load the program. I have 23 gigabits of free space and the program only takes about 900 megabits.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Modez

Would this be ok for a SQL Server?
Here's what we are thinking about doing:
3x18 GB RAID 5 for OS/apps/database/data.
2x9 GB mirrored for the log files.
(we normally don't have apps on the server besides SQL itself)
Thanks!

In reading material on the quorum drive on a sql server cluster in mentions this is the drive the logs are written to. Is this referring to sql log files that are dumped by a process or scheduled job, or some other log files?

I know this isn't exactly SQL help, but I alwasy get great help here and thought someone might know why I'm having problems. I'm trying to map to a drive where I have a SQLExpress database on another computer within a workgroup. This is the cmd line I'm using...
NET USE * \XPPRO1SQLExpress /USER:Admin /SAVECRED /PERSISTENT: YES
I'm thinking the problem is with the * (which names the new drive with the next available letter), or that I have to use a password. Everything I've found says nothing about specifying a password though.
The error message I get says "A command was used with conflicting switches."
